Wall of Honors

Plaque of Wall of Honors

Wall of Honors: an award established for women to be honored by their spouses, family and friends for their contributions to local communities.

The selection process and benefits for the Wall of Honors award are as follows:


Nominating criteria:

  • Anyone can send an entry form for a selected Deaf or hard of hearing woman.

  • A fee of $50.00 will be required to process the nomination.

  • There is no deadline for submitting forms, however, in order to be placed on the Wall of Honors before the next biennial conference.

  • Entries must be submitted three months prior to the date of the conference.

Benefits: 

  • A commemorative plaque (approximately 5" X 7" or 4" X 6") for the recipient,

  • an engraved nameplate to be placed on the Wall of Honors, and

  • a list of accomplishments to be printed in the Wall of Honors book.

Your friend or a family member will also be honored to receive something special from you for recognizing her contributions to the Deaf community. Don't hesitate to give recognition to that special Deaf or hard of hearing woman! Just fill out the nomination form and send it off TODAY!
